INGREDIENTS

For the dough

½ cup wheat flour

½ cup ragi flour

Butter

½ cup Water

For the filling

½ cup mawa

½ cup palm jaggery

½ cup desiccated coconut

Poppy seeds

Cardamom powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the wheat flour, ragi flour, some melted butter and water in a bowl and knead into dough.

Next, roast poppy seeds and the desiccated coconut separately on a pan. Keep it aside to cool down.

Once cooled, grind the poppy seeds and coconut together in a mixer grinder.

Then, mix this ground mixture with mawa, jaggery and cardamom powder. The filling is ready.

Now, take the dough and make small round balls. Roll out each ball to make a small round roti.

Next, place a spoonful of the filling on each of the rotis.

Fold them into half and seal the open side by softly folding the edges.

Next, preheat the oven to 180 degrees for about 8 minutes.

Place all the gujiyas on the baking tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

Now, remove the tray from the oven and turn all the gujiyas over, to cook the other side. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool.
